You can put this solution on YOUR website! A savings account earns 4% annual interest compounded quarterly. How much interest would $500 earn if it was invested for one year?
----------------
1 yr = 4 quarters
4%/yer = 1% per quarter
FV = PV*(1.01)^4
FV = 500*(1.01)^4 = $520.30
Interest = $20.30

---------------------
A(t) = P(1+(r/n))^(nt)
---------------
A(1) = 500(1+0.04/4)^(4*1)
-----
A(1) = 500(1.01)^4
-----
A(1) = 500*1.0406
-----
A(1) = $520.30

Interest = $20.30
